I’m only 25 and didn’t think I’d end up needing <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> to successfully have children.

But c’est la vie, so I’m here.

I’ve spent a dozen days jabbing myself with needles of menopur and tomorrow is the day of egg retrieval. And I’m nervous everything will go wrong.

My doctor says he’s optimistic and he projects to retrieve at least 10 eggs, but I’m not.

If everything is so good, I wouldn’t need <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> and I’d have a clear explanation as to why it’s not working naturally.

I never got one.

I’m horrified he’ll extract and tell me I have no healthy eggs. Or something definite. I’ve heard so many horror stories that I wish I can jump into a time machine and skip to our second round, because I know our first round will probably fail.
